A Pendant I Designed Myself That Simply Stuns (If I Do Say)

I designed this stunning ruby pendant using the GemsNY design-your-own-pendant feature — and I have to say, it was dangerously simple. After choosing a gemstone and cut, I selected my preferred setting and chain length exactly to my liking. I’m obsessed with dark-toned stones, so this emerald-cut ruby was an immediate yes, especially when combined with the edgy, almost witchy look of the 14-karat yellow gold setting.

A Diamond Tennis Bracelet For Your Carmela Soprano Moment

No mob wife aesthetic is complete without a tennis bracelet. The goal is to drip diamonds, and this piece features a total carat weight of 5.50 glittering natural diamonds set into 14-karat white gold for a look that’s both bold and timeless — it’s a piece you’ll keep forever. Try layering it as part of a bracelet stack for even more maximalist flash.

This Surprisingly Versatile Ruby & Diamond Bracelet

It may surprise you, but this gemstone tennis bracelet is actually incredibly versatile. The combination of 19 AAA-quality emerald cut rubies punctuated by 38 natural diamonds (weighing in at 13.30 and 0.76 carats respectively) is bold, maximalist, and edgy — practically begging for the contrast of a ripped band T-shirt — but would look just as stunning paired with a simple black cocktail dress. The stones are prong set in timeless 18-karat yellow gold; it’s a piece you’ll reach for constantly.

A Stare-At-Me Emerald Cut Diamond Eternity Band

Sure, you could choose this diamond eternity band as part of a wedding set — and what a stunning choice that would be — or you could wear it all on its own, on whatever finger you choose, to celebrate your appreciation of eye-catching maximalism. Set in 14-karat white gold, the ring features 19 emerald-cut diamonds weighing approximately 6.08 carats; a design guaranteed to turn heads.

This Shimmering Pair Of Dangling Emerald Earrings

At a combined weight of 3.63 carats, the grade-A round cut emeralds featured in these earrings are a gorgeous way to add a subtle flash of color to your look — and formal enough to carry wedding or cocktail party looks. Dangling from a slender rim of natural diamonds (at approximately 0.13 carat weight) the stones are prong-set in 14-karat white gold. The screw-back design has more than enough drama to be worn singly, but they’d look incredible as the first earring in a silver or white gold ear stack.

Available metals: 6 | Available carats: 1.13 — 3.63

This Vintage-Inspired Sapphire Statement Ring

Featuring a jaw-dropping 3.35-carat untreated sapphire set into a wide 11.2-millimeter band of ornately carved pure 925 silver, this vintage-inspired ring looks as if it could have been passed down by your stylish grandmother — and the heirloom quality materials ensure you’ll keep it forever. Wear it on its own, or try stacking other rings of varying textures and widths; however you style it, this ring grabs attention.

Available metals: 8 | Available carats: 1 — 3.35 | Available sizes: 2.5 — 10+

A Singular Tennis Bracelet With Round & Oval Diamonds

For those obsessed with a diamond tennis bracelet — and who want dial up the drama even more — this is your fighter. She’s designed with a unique blend of round and oval-cut natural diamonds, and some of those diamonds are even rimmed with tiny pave diamonds for the ultimate in look-at-me luxury. The approximate 4.30 karats’ worth of diamonds are set in gleaming 14-karat yellow gold; this bracelet can effortlessly dress up any look.

Available metals: 3 | Available carats: 4.30 — 5.91 | Available stones: 9

An Oval-Shaped Aquamarine For Designing A Birthstone Ring

Along with custom wedding and engagement rings, GemsNY has options for creating other personalized pieces — like this loose aquamarine oval, which would make a stunning addition to a birthstone ring. At 1.26-carats, the excellent AAA quality stone is sizable enough to to make a statement all by itself when paired with a gold or silver setting, but of course GemsNY offers diamond-trimmed settings, for when you want your jewelry to do the most.
